1 . My family has had a great influence on me. When I was a kid, I learnt how to work from my family. My mum would never let me get away when there was something to be done. I learnt the importance of education. My parents would give me 50 dollars if I got As in school. They taught me how to use and save money. My mum taught me how to cook, how to clean, and basically everything I needed to know to live on my own. My dad taught me how to garden, how to do home improvement, how to treat women and girls with respect, and how to put other people's needs above my own. My brothers and sisters taught me how to make a decision in conflict（矛盾）. I'm 22 now, and I'll get married next year. I learn things from my parents' marriage by examples. For example, I've never seen my parents really fight. They had disagreements, but they were always in control and never let anger get the best of them. I think that's great, and I'm going to work towards that in my marriage.

I have a great family. I'm grateful that my parents chose to make it a great family.

5 . On the day the tornado hit, there was no indication severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first warning my husband, Jimmy and I got came around 9 p.m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching.

No sooner had we found coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. I didn’t know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. I gripped the banister(楼梯扶手) and tried to move forward, but this intense pressure held me in place. In those seconds of practical stillness, I could hear everything around me rattling.

We got close to the staircase landing only to hear the loud ripping（撕裂） sound of our garage door coming off. The back wall of the house followed suit and tore off into the darkness outside.

By the time I reached the closet, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy’s arm tightly as the tornado sucked the door open—we never did get it fully shut—and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and head were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.

“Hold on! Hold on!” he yelled. But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to. All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Jimmy said he’d go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.”

1. What does the underlined word coverage mean?

A．damage	B．reports

2. In the last but two paragraphs, why did the author feel no pain?

A．Because she was too eager to help her husband to feel it.

3. The feeling of the author during the disaster can be described as_______

A．scared, surprised but calm	B．surprised, terrified but determined
C．astonished, confused and moved	D．amazed, determined and grateful

Dear Angela，

I am so happy to learn you are coming to study in our school and stay at my home.

My home is at No. 58, Mingzu Street. A five­minute walk from my home along Mingzu Street will lead me to a crossroads, when Mingzu Street meets Baohu Road. On the corner of the crossroads lie a shopping mall, where you can get everything you needed. Walking for about 300 meter along Baohu Road, you'll see our school on right.   There we will spend most of the daytime. In the end of Mingzu Street stands the new railway station, and that it's easy for you to reach. As a bus stop is just next to my home, Bus No. 23 will direct take you there.

I can't wait to seeing you in China.

Yours，

Li Hua

8 .

Eat your vegetables. Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you". We are full of advice for our children.    1    As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.

Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:

Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1,000, invest it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she's 65, she would have $980,983!

Be careful of credit. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly.     2     Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.

    3    Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside, say, $15 a week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.

Explain your values.     4    When your child demands that you buy something, explain way you really don't went to buy it. You might say, "I'd rather save that money for your education"     5    

A．Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.

B．Provide encouragement.

C．That means paying off your debt in time.

D．Teach patience.

E．Values and money interact.

F．But when it comes to money, we often have little to say.

G．Tell your children the importance of saving.
